Very satisfied

I didn't realize that Thrifty is a budget rental brand under Hertz. The Marseille train station rental area had signs for many rental companies, but none for Thrifty. After searching for a while, I found it under the Hertz name. The staff in charge of the rentals provided excellent service and gave us an amazing car—a 5-seater with a sunroof, GPS navigation, and a very spacious trunk. I seriously wondered if they gave us the wrong car.

The pick-up location at the Louvre underground was easy to find. If you can’t find it, head towards the inverted pyramid underground, then follow the signs towards the Metro, and you’ll see it. The drop-off at Nice Airport was very clearly indicated and extremely quick.

The service attitude is acceptable, but the hidden fees are high. 1. The 20% tax is not mentioned in advance; 2. The provided GPS hasn't been updated for 31 months, some routes are not found, and some lead to wrong-way entries; 3. The GPS caused unnecessary detours, leading to exceeding the daily mileage limit, which is very high at 0.84 Euros per kilometer. It's outright robbery. Never using this company again.

Hertz took an unexplained payment of £59:86 from my credit card despite the fact that I returned the car with a full tank of fuel and in perfect condition. I already had excess insurance cover and so declined this when I picked up the car.

QEEQ did not advise me that I would be charged an additional amount by Hertz so the very competitive price they offered would appear to be a con.
